- Updated the atlassian MCP server endpoint to account for future deprecation
- Fixed a bug in the coder agent that was causing the agent to create absolute paths from the current directory

- Added back in the auto_confirm variable into sisyphus
- Removed the now unnecessary is_stale_response that was breaking auto-continuing with parallel agents
- Bypassed enabled_tools for user interaction tools so if function calling is enabled at all, the LLM has access to the user interaction tools when in REPL mode

- Clean up orphaned sub-agents when the parent agent
- Fixed the bash prompt utils so that they correctly show output when being run by a tool invocation
- Forgot to automatically add the bidirectional communication back up to parent agents from sub-agents (i.e. need to be able to check inbox and send messages)
- Agent delegation tools were not being passed into the {{__tools__}} placeholder so agents weren't delegating to subagents
### Refactor
- Made the oauth module more generic so it can support loopback OAuth (not just manual)

- Added support for thought-signatures for Gemini 3+ models
### Fix
- Improved continuation prompt to not make broad todo-items
- Allow auto-continuation to work in agents after a session is compressed and if there's still unfinish items in the to-do list
- fs_ls and fs_cat outputs should always redirect to "$LLM_OUTPUT" including on errors.
- Claude tool calls work incorrectly when tool doesn't require any arguments or flags; would provide an empty JSON object or error on no args
- Fixed a bug where --agent-variable values were not being passed to the agents
